I'm not sure how its done, but I believe I read somewhere that
accident investigators can determine if a light bulb was on or off
when it shattered. (When I read it I think it was in regards to
brake lights, to tell if someone had their brakes on when they got
rear-ended, but it may apply to headlights as well.) Anyway, if that
is true, this might be something useful for your friend to check into.
It would certainly prove that the guy had his lights off.
